What has been the secret to Jonathan Adler’s success? A
little bit of luck, a passion for craft and a philosophy of saying yes. 

Around three decades ago, Adler’s “lifelong love” of clay
that began at summer camp transitioned from a hobby to a career. He sold his first pot to the American Craft Museum—now the Museum of Art and Design—and a Barneys New York order quickly followed. The rest is history. “I got very lucky, got my order from Barneys, and quite unexpectedly and accidentally became a potter,” he said.

In addition to his own eponymous home décor label, Adler has
collaborated with buzzy brands, including designing a house for cultural icon Barbie. Some have also turned into ongoing relationships, such as his
multi-collection partnership with Ruggable. Creative alliances are one area where his tendency to say yes comes into play. “Collaborations are just a great way to be creative, to make news, and hopefully to ring the register as well,” he said.

In this episode of WWD Voices for Retail Rx, Ian Fredericks,
president and chief executive officer of Hilco Consumer-Retail, speaks with Adler about his career, what was hot this holiday season and how his brand approaches retail.

In the latest “Savage Fashion” podcast episode, WWD’s chief content officer Jim Fallon and style director Alex Badia sat down with Kris Van Assche, who was in Manhattan for the Basic.Space design fair.

"When I left Berluti, after like a 20 something years of a rollercoaster of nonstop working, I never really had the time to sit and think about what else I would possibly do," Van Assche said. "But then when all that stops, I got bored so fast... I didn't necessarily needed a new fashion adventure right away, but I did feel like what I missed immediately was the human interaction."
